Alfred Birnbaum’s acclaimed translation brings Murakami’s nostalgic exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery to an English-speaking audience. The story follows Toru Watanabe, a Tokyo university student in the late 1960s, as he recalls his relationships with two very different women: the delicate, introspective Naoko and the vibrant, outgoing Midori.
